Im so hyped up for this game. I'm going to get an Xbox just for this game. Anyway, the Gamespot review for Halo 2 is up in half an hour, so we can all predict our score here

I think it will get a 9.8

 

[gofreak]

We already have a psuedo prediction thread..someone else tried to start a seperate one and it got locked.

It may end up getting a 10. I think either this or Half-Life 2 will.

 

[Joe]

at least 9.5

you know its funny it could score a 9.5 and this forum would still turn to hell. :lol

 

[Guns N' Poops]

9.7-9.8

 

[demon]

8.7

 

[Lakitu]

NM!

 

[explodet]

I'd give this post a number (of Halo 2 threads), but the search only displays the first 200 results.

 

[Firest0rm]

9.6

 

[PhatSaqs]

9.6 or 9.7

 

[Lakitu]

9.6

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

 

[Lakitu]

:lol

 

[deadhorse32]

9.1

 

[Dilbert]

Why the FUCK do you people bother predicting scores?

 

[Wario64]

9.5

and why cant we predict them?

Also don't understand why the "Official Halo 2 review" thread got locked either. Just cause people were posting predictions in the thread? It'll help save people from reposting threads for the reviews when they go up

 

[Joe]

Why the FUCK do you people bother predicting scores?

because they're not bitter, old, uptight people like yourself?

 

[deadhorse32]

I don't know

And i take my 9.1 back. Since they fucked up on the 9.1 they are going to give it 9.0 or 9.2.

 

[automagnus]

I give this post a 4.8

 

[op_ivy]

i'm a halo fanboy, but do we really need another one of these threads?

 

[Ramirez]

6.8!

 

[duckroll]

C-

 

[Speevy]

10.0

 

[border]

I predict it will get at least 2 more threads with idiots trying to "predict" a score for a review that is coming out in less than an hour.

 

[Andy787]

9.8

 

[Joe]

no one has said it yet so i'll do it

9.9!

 

[Musashi Wins!]

9.3

 

[nubbe]

5.1

A thread about prediciting scores? Hell no. One thread for all the H2 reviews that'll be hitting the interenet in about 10 minutes. Definately. Unless they actually want the forum to be swamped with a bunch of different threads about H2 reviews, closing the first thread was a mistake imo.

 

[Joe]

why were there 2,300 active members on here 2 days ago? was it because of the halo2 street date breaking thread?

 

[Sysgen]

5 mins OMG!

 

[shpankey]

from them, since they normaly are harder on xbox games than most other sites, i'd say 9.3

 

[Drakken]

Yes, that's what it was, if I remember correctly. Gamespot named GA forums as the source of the news in their article about it.

 

[Ramirez]

Im more interested in the new media than the reviews

 

[Dilbert]

Hey, fuck you too, Yankee boy.

Look, reviews in general are of limited utility. The score is never as important as the rationale behind it, since ultimately it's up to you to decide whether you like the game enough to buy it. If my top three criteria are game length, difficulty factor, and sound, then a final game score isn't going to help me. The text of the article which discusses the reasons why that particular reviewer arrived at his/her score is what will ultimately be helpful.

Now, if you're interested in reviews just for the sake of reading reviews...well, that's Fanboy Land right there. Arguing over a tenth of a point difference between scores is completely pointless. What REALLY is the difference between 9.5 and 9.6, anyway? What does it MEAN that [fill in title of game #1] scored [higher | lower] than [fill in title of game #2]? Seriously -- if you enjoy that kind of stuff, why not just compare dick size with your friends? That data is just as useless, and at least you don't have to wait a half-hour to find out the answers.

9.4 it's official

"..short campaign and a disappointing storyline..."

"..The game's visuals ... aren't quite as pristine as the sound...some of the cutscenes don't look so hot..."
